US can recover just by banning wall-mart to import cheap stuff from china....
it killing local US industry & rising unemployment...
walmart imports almost over $30 billion from china annually ...
All protectionism does is start trade wars that negatively affect all the economies involved. Not to mention the fact that governments do not outsource, companies do. And it is hard to control companies.
Now even if all exports from China are stopped, then Mexico will again become the American industrial off shoring site. And the Americans are signatories NAFTA so protectionism is out of the question.
Basically, Americans need their cheap imports and if China doesn't provide them, somebody else will. Manufacturing won't be coming back to the US anytime soon.
